The vaccines - Ancillary

The Layout much like the previous album cover I analysed is fairly simple, not cluttered. The album cover and album name ‘The Vaccines’ is positioned in a headline position in a bold font style. The font colour of ‘The Vaccines’ is Pink which contrast nicely with black to make it stand out. Pink is also a stereotypical feminine colour which is much like the music of the vaccines as most of their music is quite soft. Indie-Rock is the lighter side of rock and the feminine colour portrays that well. The image used on the front of the album is taken at a mid-shot. The identity of the girl isn’t shown is it is not important to know her identity, but the importance of the picture is the symbolic message. It connotes love and romance which is also emphasised by the pink colour used on the front. The record label stamps are also in pink to stick to the colour scheme. The colour scheme is the same as the one on the front so it sticks to the theme throughout. This album back cover shows an image which is effect as one the front cover you see the girl from the front and on the back cover you see the girl from the back. The conventional aspect such as the barcode and record label information is on the back right of the album and the album name is also the edging of the album. The colour scheme which is used on the CD doesn’t relate to the colour scheme used on the actual album however it relates to the colours of the guys top in the image and the yellowish sky in the back image. Also the colour is symbolic to the mood set by the images on the album as the girl on the front is looking for love and she is on her own on the back. The orange is like a gone off colour of the passionate red colour.

The Layout much like the previous album cover I

analysed is fairly simple, not cluttered. The album

cover and album name ‘The Vaccines’ is

positioned in a headline position in a bold font

style. The font colour of ‘The Vaccines’ is Pink

which contrast nicely with black to make it stand

out. Pink is also a stereotypical feminine colour

which is much like the music of the vaccines as

most of their music is quite soft. Indie-Rock is the

lighter side of rock and the feminine colour

portrays that well. The image used on the front of

the album is taken at a mid-shot. The identity of

the girl isn’t shown is it is not important to know

her identity, but the importance of the picture is

the symbolic message. It connotes love and

romance which is also emphasised by the pink

colour used on the front. The record label stamps

are also in pink to stick to the colour scheme.

The colour scheme is the same as the one on the

front so it sticks to the theme throughout. This

album back cover shows an image which is effect

as one the front cover you see the girl from the

front and on the back cover you see the girl from

the back.

The conventional aspect such as the barcode and

record label information is on the back right of the

album and the album name is also the edging of

the album.

The colour scheme which is used on the CD doesn’t

relate to the colour scheme used on the actual album

however it relates to the colours of the guys top in

the image and the yellowish sky in the back image.

Also the colour is symbolic to the mood set by the

images on the album as the girl on the front is looking

for love and she is on her own on the back. The

orange is like a gone off colour of the passionate red

colour.
